[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Setting permissions for patron subgroups

Anton, I would remove the permissions from parent/ancestor groups if
they're getting in the way.  I believe a brand new install of 1.4 will
dump a lot of permissions into the stock Staff group just to make it
easy for folks to evaluate, but I think a lot of them should be pruned
in a production system and relegated to more specific groups like
Cataloger and Circulator.

Also, if you're using 1.4, checkout the Admin -> Server Settings
interface in the staff client as an alternative to the bootstrap CGI.
